Too Old to Rock n Roll, and Too Young to Die

The other day I was taking a long walk with my dog, listening to the radio. It was a good-old classic rock program, with some gems. But the song that caught my attention was Jethro Tull's "Too old to rock n roll, too young to die". This phrase made me think about myself - I am to old to party all night, yet still young enough... stuck in the middle in a way :)

This phrase made me reflect and think. I thought I could create a cool design that will honor the phrase, and its meaning.

The phrase was designed in retro style, which makes us feel like in an old rock bar. I wanted to pay a  respect to those decades. The letters blend with the guitar, and complete it.

You can purchase this design on my Redbubble shop, you can hang it on the wall, wear it, or carry it as a smartphone cover.


I definitely will create more classic rock designs, I'm sure that many songs and phrases that move me will touch others too...

Oh wait... here is the song that inspired me :

Have a wonderful day!

Johann Sebastian Bach - Pop Art

Hi there!

Have you heard about Johann Sebastian Fabulous? No? Well... you're going to meet him immediately :)

I just wanted to create an unusual Pop Art portrait of someone, who is not considered as a popular culture icon. And I thought that Johann Sebastian Bach, would fit perfectly for my little project. I mean... his wig and appearance is so epic, I wanted to make it even more fun.

First, I sketched his portrait quickly with Sketchbook - just to have something to work with.
Here is the rough quick sketch :

I kind of liked it, but I was focused on my goal.
I took this sketch and used Adobe Illustrator to vector it, tweak it a little and to color it like a human peacock.

After my treatment he has got California tan, and colorful feathers. Now he looked like a complete funky Diva :)

Check it out :

Isn't he super fabulous? :)

Look how good he looks on a pillow!

You can find this Pop Art portrait on many products (including Tshirts, posters, cell cases and more) on my Redbubble Store and on Zazzle.

Chem them out I'm sure you'll love them!

Have a colorful day!

Quick and Loose Portrait of Ringo Starr

I love the Beatles, and I guess that many of you love them too...

Naturally we all been focusing on Paul, John and George. Most of us have been ignoring Ringo, never considering him as a real singer and composer. Fortunately, I've been listening to the 'Record Store Day' on the radio, two weeks ago. Between all the songs there, they broadcasted an old Ringo's album from 1976. I liked it very much, and wanted to hear more of his stuff. His early records are real gems! I couldn't stop hearing them, especially his Country Album  "Beaucoups of Blues".

Check out this lovely song (from another album Ringo's Rotogravure) - not of his best, but quite entertaining :)

Well, after hearing Ringo all day, I unintentionally started to doodle his face, real quick. Just loose and fun portrait. A small tribute to this great fun loving musician.

Johnny Winter's Show

Hi there,

Some of you may have noticed that I love Blues music. Fortunately I had the chance to attend the legendary Johnny Winter's show, in Tel Aviv. He looks old and tired, but I tell you, he still has the energy of a 20 years old. If you have a chance and you like Blues, don't miss his show. It's energetic and rough, like it should be.
I took some pics and I'd like to share them with you! Enjoy :)

The Dark Flute Player

This one is going to be short :)

Just wanted to create a silhouette of a flute player, but it turned out to be a dark broken silhouette, not the regular neat stuff, it was influenced by Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull - take a look :)

REAL Blues Player - Robert "Wolfman" Belfour

Hi there,

Among my many interests, I love music, especially Blues. Unfortunately, not many authentic Blues players came to visit my humble country, and I had to dream or to find them overseas. You could imagine my surprise when I found out that Robert Belfour, an original Mississippi Blues player, will come to do one show here. To be honest, I never heard about him, but the critics, his appearance and his songs seemed to be perfect!

His style is down to earth Blues, no percussion, bass or electric guitar, just the acoustic guitar and his 72 years old voice. It is really difficult to listen to this style for a long time, even if you are a Blues veteran, but this was an opportunity that I couldn't miss. I was eager to hear him, and even more, to take some authentic pictures.

When we got there I was very surprised, we had to stand, there were no chairs or tables. If you ask me it was kind of strange - it was not a Rock show. It was quite crowded and dark, but I've tried to capture the best possible photos. It wasn't hard - Belfour has made 90% of the work.

Take a look :

Classic Blues Man

Blues in Blue

Robert "Wolfman" Belfour

The pictures were darker than I expected, but they deliver the mood and the personality of the artist. I think that using the flash could have "killed" the authentic atmosphere.

Do those pics make you feel the blues? Tell me :)

Photography - Rock, Nature and Hell's Angels

Hi !

This Saturday was a lovely day, you could really feel the spring. The sun came out but it wasn't too hot. Me and other two friends (also photographers) decided to visit a small rock gathering, arranged by our favorite radio show (on 88fm), in a forest. We decided to go there without any expectations, bring some beers and just to chill, hoping for some "Kodak" moments.

Well, to our surprise we arrived pretty early, we we're kind of disappointed, but everything turned around just fine. A bunch of heavy Harley Davidsons surprised us with their unmistakable roar, and some typical Hell's Angels look a likes appeared. On the other hand some young kids and innocent teenagers popped in with their acoustic guitars. It was chaotic and lovely, different kind of people, different ages, but they all shared the same passion : Rock Music!

For us, it was a great photo opportunity.

Here are some photos from the event. Click on the photos to enlarge.

Chaotic but fun :)
